Alchemee Supplier Code

Preamble

The Alchemee Code of Ethics sets out our values and principles for business conduct. The Supplier Code ("the Code") allows us to enforce the Corporate Business Principles by establishing the standards (below I-VIII) that we require our suppliers, their employees, agents and subcontractors ("the Supplier"), to adhere to when conducting business for Alchemee LLC ("Alchemee"). It is the Supplier's responsibility to communicate these requirements to their employees, agents and subcontractors and to train them accordingly.

By accepting the Code, the Supplier commits to ensuring that all existing and future agreements or business relationships with Alchemee comply with the provisions contained herein.

I. Business Integrity

The Supplier must comply with all applicable laws and regulations.

In all activities, the Supplier must never, directly or through intermediaries, offer or promise any personal or improper advantage in order to obtain or retain business or any other advantage from a third Party, whether public or private, nor must the Supplier accept any such advantage in return for any preferential treatment by a third Party.

II. Environment

The Supplier must operate with respect for the environment and ensure compliance with all applicable laws and regulations in the country where products or services are manufactured or delivered.

The supplier should do his utmost to reduce and even eliminate emission sources generated by his activities, to preserve natural resources (water and non-renewable resources), avoid or minimize the use of hazardous substances and when possible promote waste recycling or re-use.

III. Labor Standards

The Supplier must under no circumstances use or in any other way benefit from forced labor. Likewise, labor in the form of indentured servitude is prohibited, as is the use of corporal punishment, confinement, threats of violence or other forms of harassment or abuse as a method of discipline or control. The Supplier shall not utilize factories or production facilities that oblige work to be carried out by unpaid or indentured laborers, nor shall the Supplier contract for the manufacture of products with subcontractors that engage in such practices or utiIize such faciIities.

As referenced by the international convention for children's rights (art.32) and the OIT convention (art 138 and 182), the use of child labor by the Supplier is strictly prohibited, as it places children at risk or can compromise their schooling or negatively impact their physical, mental, spiritual, moral or social development.

The Supplier must ensure that his/her employees work in compliance with all applicable laws and mandatory industry standards pertaining to the number of hours and days worked. In the event of conflict between a statute and a mandatory industry standard, the Supplier must comply with the one taking precedence under national law.
